    Strong Delusion

    To punish all those who stubbornly refuse to love the truth and be saved. 2Th 2:10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. When God's Will and His kindness and generosity are irreversibly held in contempt, what else is...

    Apostasy

    After Judgment Day it's not going to bother God or any of His saints. All who get saved are foreknown to God and not one will be lost. Getting morbid about apostasy and trying to set a percentage of the saved versus the unsaved seems at odds with what the Scriptures teach us about the dynamics...

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Yeah, well changing calendars and datelines messes up the 7 day sequence, and the poor old ignorant works-based cults take it rather badly. [See link & quote below] TEN DAYS THAT VANISHED After years of consultation and research, Pope Gregory XIII signed a papal bull in February 1582...

    Apostasy

    Respectfully, it don't make no difference when someone is saved, the number who are is beyond human computation.

    Strong Delusion

    Agreed, but where does Moses come into it, or was that a typo in this quote from you earlier?

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Agreed. Wisdom is inherent in Creation, and is responsible for the sum of iterations from 1 to 36 being a perfect triangularity which you correctly point out speaks of the combined strength of mankind both from the vertices (1:631:666) and from the base of 36. The appropriation of this unique...

    Apostasy

    A good number are saved . . . Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; Rev 7:10 And cried with a...

    Strong Delusion

    Timtofly. Aside from the blasphemous implications that God ever lies, I am wondering what you think God lied to Moses about since it is not clear from your post. The use of "world" to describe lifeforms plus the habitats, conditions, and cultures of these is well established, in Scripture and...

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Evasive reply from you but direct Scriptural answer from me. Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. The ancient wisdom associated with counting the sum of numbers...

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    How does that equate to: the prohibition on buying and selling the wisdom of counting the number which can be done by those with understanding.

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Nothing in those posts to satisfactorily answer the question I'm asking you, which is what effect having or not having the mark has according to Scripture.

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    You're telling the story. The cause of the mark is the beast, and the effect of having it or not having it is . . .? Rev 13:16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Shopping is thus only possible to those whose inner values and priorities align with those of the first & second beasts of Revelation 13.

    Why, if God is sovereign, is there a global pandemic?

    During both World Wars preachers around the earth busied themselves trying to convince all and sundry that the end was nigh . . .

    The Lottery

    Well if you're treating it as an economic enterprise based on supply and demand why not whip the desired organs out of inmates doing time for heinous crimes and transplant them in wealthy clients and charitable cases for megabucks. Make it legal and safe so to effectively bypass the black market...

    The Lottery

    What about all the sleepers that have already been run over by the train . . . ??? Inhumane.

    The Lottery

    Let's start the harvest with your organs, count backwards from 10 Mr.JohnDB. As for the train I would derail it by jamming the switch halfway, and save everyone.

    Theories of the Atonement

    Good point Ezra. Yeah, no commentator is perfect so I screen their stuff. Some weird responses here to my rejoicing that I am no longer by nature a child of wrath, as if my belief in the truth of the famous Ephesians 2:1-10 passage isn't cause to be grateful for God's grace and kindness...

    Why Did Jesus Choose The Cross?

    Hi April_Rose. FYI, and as you may have heard at some point, there is a need for the Cross to feature in the death of Christ in association with the Tree of Life mentioned in Genesis, Proverbs, and Revelation. It is the death of Christ that gives His saints eternal life and restores their right...
